JoSAA Opening & Closing Rank 2026: College-Wise Cutoffs for IITs, NITs & GFTIs
JoSAA Counselling 2026 will commence shortly after the declaration of JEE Main 2026 results. Registration is expected to begin in the first week of June 2026; last year, the process started on June 3. Opening and closing ranks are updated after each round of counselling, and the complete schedule is available on the official website, josaa.nic.in.
To get into an engineering college through JoSAA, you need to score well on either the JEE Main or JEE Advanced. Authorities then publish a rank list based on these scores and release counseling results post each round.
Approximately 59,937 B.Tech seats are available through JoSAA 2026. Furthermore, based on data from Rounds 1 and 2 of the previous year, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) remains one of the most competitive courses at top IITs, NITs, and IIITs.
The ranks are organized by both category and institute. Setting cut-offs gets influenced by various things too – like how tough the exam was, how many passed, and available seats. They also look at reservation policies and what happened in previous years' admissions.
You can use these cut-offs to determine the rank range required for your preferred course and college.
As mentioned, ranks depend on various factors, including the exam's difficulty level, the number of qualifying candidates, available seats, and trends from the previous year. Please see below for full details.
